History of Bath Research Group

Directory Search

The History of Bath Research Group owns a complete set of Postal directories of Bath dating from 1848 to 1952. They are a fascinating resource which provides detailed information about the occupations and residences of many Bath individuals on an annual or biannual basis. As a result they can fill interesting gaps in the census records. We plan to digitise the complete set and make them available online. To begin this project we have made one of the directories available online as a demonstrator. Please feel free to use this resource and send us any comments on the work we have done.
